Spelman College was founded by Sophia B. Packard and Harriett E. Giles, two
missionary teachers from New England. With one hundred dollars and an offer from Father Frank Quarles to use the basement of Friendship Baptist Church, the
women
openedtheAtlantaBaptistFemaleSeminaryonApril11,1881. Thefirststu dents were eleven women, mostly mothers, twenty years out of slavery and deter mined to learn to read the Bible and write well enough to send letters to theirfamilies. Shortly after the schools founding, Packard and Giles were introduced to John D. Rockefeller, who helped the ladies secure nine acres of land and five frame buildings in 1883. Through the continuing philanthropy of Rockefeller, the debt on the property
was
paid, and the schools name was changed to Spelman Seminary in 1884 to honor the parents of Mrs. Rockefeller. In 1881, through the vision and self-sacrifice of Sophia Packard, the seminary
was
granted a state charter, and the Board ofTrusteesofficiallyappointed Miss Packard as Spelmans first president. Upon Packards death in 1891, Harriett Giles became thesecondpresidentoftheseminary. DuringSpelmansfirstyears,enrollmentgrew from 11 to 800 students, and the departments of instruction included high school, teachers professional courses, missionary training, nurses training and the college department.
In thefollowing years, the Seminary experienced unprecedented growth during the presidencies of Lucy Hale Tapley (1910-27), and Florence Matilda Reed (192753). It became a four-year liberal arts college and made substantial strides in its curriculum and organization. The Agreement of Affiliation between Spelman Col lege, Morehouse College, and Atlanta University (1929), which served as the founda tionuponwhichtheAtlantaUniversityCenterwasestablished,wassignedin1947. In 1953, Spelman began a new legacy of leadership. Albert E. Manley (1953-76) be
came the first male and African American to lead the institution, and under his leader
ship, the college increased its enrollment considerably, enlarged its physical plant,
and established programs that broadened the educational experience. Donald M. Stewart (1976-86) made great strides in building on the Colleges legacy of achieve ment. Heimprovedacademicquality,strengthenedthefaculty,andtripledthe colleges endowment.
The late 1980s brought Spelman its first African American female president, Johnnetta B. Cole, and during her tenure, she successfully completed The Spelman Campaign: Initiativesforthe 90s, raising $113.8 million and making itthe largest cam paign in the history of Black College fundraising. Almost a decade later, history was made when Audrey Forbes Manley, the first alumna president, began to bring schol arly achievements, administrative adeptness, and a love for herAlma mater-qualities necessary to guide Spelman into the next millennium.
For 119 years, Spelman has grown in size and stature. The College remains true to its destiny of meeting the challenges of tomorrow with a distinct vision, deter mined path, and a commitment to excellence, while educating and producing African
American female leaders. Over the years, Spelman becomes a sacred place in the
heart of Spelmanites, so much that beyond the realm of a degree, we will be recog nized as Spelman Women for life-accomplished, dedicated, passionate and compas sionate, and proud to be a part of a historic sisterhood. As one graduate once said, Once a Spelman woman, you are always a Spelman woman.

Thehelp, guidance, instruction, referral, and supportofthe
faculty, administration, and staff are one ofthe many im portant features of the Spelman College experience. Faculty members thoughtfully set aside time to help students under stand course material. Many students come near the end of a professors office hours, and though professors have an out side life to attend to, the selfless act of allowing students to meet after scheduled hours for specific attention and tutoring ismade. Administrationandstaffofferguidanceinfinancial situations for students. When students have financial obliga tions, the advice that most students adhere to comes from the opinion and expertise of those in specific administration of fices. Faculty members diligently teach the students in the academic realm in preparation for scholastic achievement through capacity and knowledge building. All of the study time for rigorous assignments, time-consuming research pa pers, and semester-long projects encourage students to think analytically and intelligently. Administration and staff may refer students to career planning/professional development offices that orient the students to career paths conducive for academic success and goal attainment. Research, internship, andemployment opportunities among various otherresources are shared with the campus in an attempt to afford all of the students with valuable experiences. Collectively, faculty, ad
ministration and staff members support the students in their endeavors and serve as leaders and mentors that stimulate growth in developing students. Such efforts are greatly appre ciated for the time commitment, dedication, and patience af forded to the smooth operations ofthe institution and well be ingofitsstudents. MarandaWard

Hands On Atlanta, Inc. was founded in 1989 and is a non-profit volunteer service organization. Hands On Atlanta promotes volunteerism, as well as community involvement. Overthe past 11 years,
Hands On Atlanta has grown from merely a few dozen volunteers to 20,000. The organization recruits volunteers through the Spelman College Office of Community Service, trains them, and guides them in different community service projects. Hands On Atlanta partners with community-based agencies and public schools to

I participated in Hands On Atlanta working at the Shrine of the Black Madonna. The shrine is located in
the West End area. This particular area was cleaned
by all of the organizations and groups present that day.
I volunteered as a member of the AUC Public Health
Club cleaning up the neighborhood by raking leaves,
picking up broken bottles and debris and pulling
weeds. I recommend that everyone be involved with
Hands On Atlanta because an opportunity that caters
to your particular interests is provided, which makes
volunteering that much more fun.

ster Steps is a mentoring program established by e Bonner Scholars Program in 1996. The Bonner jcholars mentored students from the Harris Homes lousing Developments and noticed that a program r the female students was truly needed. The mission of the program is not to merely foster stellectual growth, but social and cultural ^velopment as well. The students this year came rom Oglethorpe Elementary, a low-income area the Atlanta Metropolitan area. Mentors are onsidered big sisters and must establish a
e
lationship with the young ladies in order to
promote a positive outlook for their future. Ms. Barbara Boone served as the advisor and Zakiyya Jordan, class of 2002, as the director for 20002001 year. Jordan has plans of building on the existing foundation that the former Spelman directors left behind. The program sought dedicated big sisters in helping their little sisters accomplish their goals and serve as a role model for them to follow. One of the social activities included the Magnificent Me sleepover. At the sleepover, all of the girls received Mary Kay makeovers. This was a very fun activity for the girls. -Maranda Ward

Women Studying
TheWorld
Each year students from Spelman study at an
undergraduate institution in a foreign country. Studying abroad gives students an opportunity to expe rience another culture, while completing their require ments for their undergraduate degree. Students from Spelman have studied in places as diverse as England,Jamaica, Japan, and Martinique. Every person has dif ferent reasons for studying abroad. I chose to studyabroad in order to be pushed outside of my comfort zone, said Kimberly Avis. The chance to study in an other country allows each student to add to her experi ences. Ilearned that Spelman has prepared me for any situation as I was able to adjust to a different environ ment, culture, and people, said Tamaria Perry. Studyabroad really tests your flexibility, your patience, and creativity, comments Dionne Griffiths.
Students can bepairedupwith ahostfamily or stay
on a college campus. Brandi Good feels that her stay with a Japanese host family helped her to get the most ofherexperience because thefamily is the heartofthe culture. KimberlystayedinanEnglishflatwithfifteen
other students. Living together with 15 other people
of
was a big task, but it made our relationship with each other stronger. Study abroad truly allows Spelman womentomakenewlife-longfriends,learnabout anew culture, learnmore aboutthemselves, and move beyondtheirpreviouswayofthinking. KishaJ.Young

Same Goals
Throughout Spelmans history, students from countries around the world have come to this institution
for an education because ofits dedication to the
educationofwomenaroundtheworld. Studyingat
Spelman allows international students the opportunity toexperienceAmericancultureandreceive aquality education at the same time. There are many positive
aspects ofstudying at Spelman, like the weight of [Spelmans] reputation among companies and graduate and professional schools, commented Sumayyah
Abdullah. When asked why she chose to attend
Spelman, CarmenWheatley saidI thought that an education from a black female perspective would
provide me with a better educational experience and better equip me for my career.
Studying at Spelman also gave international students the opportunity to meet students from other countries. Nao commented that cultural exchanges,
especiallywithAfrican-Americans andAfrican-Caribbean students was one ofthe most positive

TRIPS
Oneof the great things about attending
Spelman College is the ability to meet students from other historically black colleges and universities. Recently, students have been
using road trips as a way to venture out of the Atlanta University Center. It is not uncommon to hear Spelmanites planning trips to Miami, Daytona,Tallahassee, Houston, New Orleansand even New York. Not only do students get a chance to party, but also they have a chance to bond with each other. Road trips allow students a few days to relax without worrying about es says, tests, and homework assignments. They
meet
peoplefromall overthecountry and some times form new friendships. Road trips are not only about looking at guys. They are about see ing new places and spending time with our Spelmansisters. Perhapsthemostenticingthing about road trips is that they are easier on the wallet than flying to a tropical paradise like Ja

MissSpelman was stunning as she
displayed her talent in Sisters Chapel. Miss Maroon and White was mesmerizing as she walked through Kings Chapel. Dorm, state, and organi zation king and queen courts had their moment in the spotlight during Corona tion. FollowingMorehousesCoronation
was the Coronation Ball, which took place on Friday, October 20, 2000 at the HyattRegencyHotel. Itwas anightfilled with elegance andexcitementas students
Folashade Shomade and Ijeoma Ananaba
from the Atlanta University Center packed into the crowdedballroomto see the latest fashions and dance the night
away.
Both the Spelman Student Gov ernmentAssociation and the Morehouse StudentGovernmentAssociationran out oftickets for the event, but lack oftick
ets didnotstophundredsofstudentsfrom attending theball in orderto have agood time. Students from the AUC could be seen dressed in tuxedos and gowns, with fresh cuts and new hairdos. The Hyatt
Regency Hotel dance floor and various foods prepared by the chefs made the
ballroom the perfect setting for such el egance. Students had an enjoyable time as they dancedto theentertaining music. The student governments of Spelman College and Morehouse College put much work into making this event hap pen. Thankstothem,theCoronationBall

PackardHall, namedafterSpelman
Colleges first president Sophia
B. Packard, was built in 1888 as the colleges first residence hall. Hous ing seventy-eight freshwomen, this
residence hall has a tradition of hav
ing women enter in as strangers, but leaving as sisters. The year 2001 marks Packard Halls 113th anniver
sary and its last year as a residence hall. In the fall of 2001, Spelman
College will begin renovations on Packard, making it into an adminstrative building. When asked
how she felt about the closing ofthe dorm, freshwoman Latasha Hinton commented, I dont agree with it closing [as a dormitory] because I work in admissions for work study
andI seehow manyAtlantafreshman want to live on campus but cannot because ofthe closing.... I liked liv ing in Packard because it was small andeveryone was close.WhenIcame for Spelbound, I stayed in Packard andIknewfromthat [experience] that I wanted to stay in Packard when I

who never stayed in Packard. After interviewing theresidentsofPackard Hall, junior Jasmin Bailey, who stayed in Abby Hall her freshman

forthe campus. No class to at tend Spelman in the future will ever be able to say that they stayed in
Packard Hall. Freshwoman Kareen Hollowway stated that she felt [Spelman is] losing alotoftradition by closing Packarddown as adorm. Thelastclassin PackardHall has had

Upon our arrival at Spelman as freshwomen, we were filled withuncertainty about what to expect from college life. We were nervous about meeting new people, being away from home, and amount ofschoolworkawaitingus. Freshmanyearwasnewand exciting, constantlyfilledwith opportunitiesto addto lifes experiences. Then freshman year ended, meaning that we had made it through Freshmen Orientation, our first Homecoming, and ADW. We no longer had to befriend MARTA because we were now permitted to have cars. Parties became more fun because there was no waitforthe shuttlebusorthefearthatthebus wouldleaveyoustrandedattheclub. Manyofus
changed ourmajors from what we thoughtwe wanted to do to a subject more fitting of our goals and interests. Starting our majors became somewhat overwhelming, but we got through it. Many of us had already lost contact with our Morehouse brothers and Spelman sisters from freshman year, but the friends that we kept were those that had an important place in our lives. Sophomoreyearbecamemoreenjoyablebecauseof theadjustmentswehadmadeatSpelman. Sophomoreyear became a time to make more new friends, meet new

There are many things we want for you, So many wishes in our hearts as we have watched you grow into your own life and leave your childhood
behind.
We wish you the strength to face challenges with confidence, along with the wisdom to choose your battles carefully. We wish you a world of adventure and experience
and also the serenity that comes from listening to
your inner voice as the world rushes around you. We wish you the satisfaction of seeing your goals
achieved and also the true contentment that is born
of simple things -work well-done, friends well-loved, moments caught and cherished. Our greatest wish is that you will always remember
how much you are loved.
You are a beautiful, special person and we are very blessed to have you for our daughter. Always follow your dreams and believe in yourself.

MEN OF THE
deft2m Spelman College is an institu
tion of higher learning for women of color. The Spelman College experience is like no other: empowering, inspirational, and simply splendid. The college was founded by women, for
women, andcontinuallyproduces intelligent and confident women. Nonetheless, the Spelman experi
ence would not be the same with
out the presence ofthe educated andtalented men matriculating at the other schools in the Atlanta
University Center. For this rea son, it would only be appropriate to take a moment and reflect on
the images ofthe men that enter these gates for classes, forums, and social and cultural events. Thispage is dedicatedto allofthe

InMemoriam
Hosea Williams 1926 -2000
at
OnNovember 16, 2000, renowned civil rights activist Hosea Williams died
theageofseventyfour. BornonJanuary5,1926inAttapulugus,Georgia,Williams receivedhisformaleducationatMorrisBrownCollege andAtlantaUniversity.Uponcomple tionofhis masters degree, he became the first research chemisthired by the federal govern ment in the South. In
1963 Will-iams was
personally re-cruited by Dr. MartinLuther King Jr. to join the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and was among those present in
Memphis when Dr. King was assasinated. Two years laterWiliams, along with civil rights leader John Lewis, led the
march from Selma to
Montgomery, That march, which culmi-nated in Bloody Sun-day, was the impetus for the passing of many civil rights acts and legislation. In 1984 Hosea
Williams was elected to the Atlanta City Council.After
serving one term he was elected com-missioner of
Dekalb County, a position he held until his death. HoseaWilliams is also knownthroughoutAtlantaforhis holiday dinnerswhich have fed as many as 40,000 homeless people in a single day. In the words ofCoretta Scott King, An irreplacable giant ofthe modem day civil rights movement has fallen. He fought tire lesslyuntil his lastbreathto help the broken, thehurting, and the downtrodden have abetter
life. --BrookeTucker PhotoCourtesyofMarthaGroomes,anassociateofthelateReverendHoseaWilliams

Manley Center, across fromthe historic Sisters Chapel, and standing in Tapley Souths previous spot, lies the new Science Center. The construction of this new building began in 1999.
Students in the natural sciences and mathematics spend the majority oftheir class time in this center, working in its new classrooms and laboratories. Built in 1925 and named for Spelmans third president Lucy Hale Tapley, Tapley Hall
was nreviously used for all courses in mathematics and the natural sciences. Over the years, the number of science and mathematics majors and faculty members has increased, resulting in a need for larger facilties. Along with a need for darger facilities was a need to bring new technology to Spelman. Dr. Manley moved for the building ofa new science jfacilitytohouseallofthescientificdepartments,aswellasnewtechnologicalequipment.

Science laboratories for classes and faculty research have spacious benches for experi ments,computerswithupgradedsoftware,andmorestoragespaceforequipment. Theincreasednumberoflaboratories in the Science Center allows for multiple lab courses to be taught at the same time. In comparison, Tapley only held one ab foreach science department, allowingforonly one lab classofapproximatelytwenty studentsto takeplace atonetime. The large conference rooms and lecture halls allow clubs and organizations to hold meetings, forums and other events, "he Science Center also has an elevator, one luxury that the old Tapley did not have. Although the science center is not ntirelycomplete, awaitingtheremodelingofandconnectiontoTapleyHall andtheAcademic Computing Center, Spelman and otherAUC students gravitate toward the use ofthe resources made available by it.
